Jr. Planner

If you are looking for a new role in a growing interesting transportation and logistics environment, Ewals Cargo Care might be looking for you.

• Imagine that an order comes in and the cargo has to be transported from Spain to Great Britain. Our advanced planning module calculates and suggests the 15 best routes based on speed and cost.
• As a Planner, you will specialize in your field, such as a specific region, country, means of transport (truck, ferry, train) or other expertise.

• Inform stakeholders efficiently and collaboratively.

In short, 40% of your time is spent on planning and puzzling, 50% on communication via email, phone, Microsoft Teams and our scheduling system, and 10% on meetings and collaboration for continuous improvement.

As a Planner, we expect you to remain calm, reason logically, learn to make well-considered choices and learn to negotiate.
